Titanic Belfast records its busiest summer since the iconic building opened
In addition to achieving its best visitor numbers across July and August, the world-leading attraction Titanic Belfast recorded its busiest ever July and welcomed its 7.5 millionth visitor.
A survey at the attraction this summer also showed that 42% of participants came to the city specifically to visit Titanic Belfast, while 62% of those also then visited or intended to visit other attractions within Northern Ireland when here.
This iconic six-floor building features the self-guided Titanic Experience which brings the story of RMS Titanic to life using immersive technology combined with original maritime heritage.
Judith Owens MBE, Chief Executive of Titanic Belfast said: “We are delighted that the summer season at Titanic Belfast has been our busiest ever. In the last 11 years, we have continued to work hard to drive new and repeat visitors and are proud of the significant role we play in putting Belfast on the global tourism map.
“Earlier this year we unveiled a £4.7m investment programme which has seen the introduction of four exciting new themed galleries, providing our most spectacular visitor experience to date. The response from guests has been incredible and it has played a key role in our increased visitor figures.
“We look forward to building on this momentum in the weeks and months ahead, as we head into a busy conference and banqueting season where we are getting ready to host some very prestigious events in September and October including the European Association of Sports Management gala dinner and the closing ceremony of One Young World.
The Maritime Belfast Trust will be displaying one of SS Nomadic’s original lifeboats from 8th – 15th September and the Belfast Maritime Festival will be returning on 9th and 10th September.
